Méribel is one of the Europe’s premier ski resorts, situated in the
middle of the biggest ski area in the world called Les Trois Vallées

further below down the valley. It has one of the most up-to-date lift
systems available ensuring non-stop enjoyment time on the pistes. With

find great snow cover during the winter on much of the mountain.

Méribel was co-founded by Colonel Peter Lindsey in 1938 which may
explain why it is one of the most popular ski resorts for British
visitors. Méribel has retained is beautiful alpine charm due to strict
building regulations, and prides itself on being one of the prettiest
purpose built villages, enhanced by some lovely rustic hamlets further
down the valley. It’s popularity isn’t only due to the attractive
chalet-style architecture, but it’s facilities in resort. There are
numerous high quality restaurants, shops, bars and nightclubs all
conveniently situated around the resort. Méribel hosted some of the

matches and several of the Ladies Alpine Ski Races. The Olympic centre
currently offers a recently opened health and wellness centre, a
swimming pool, a ten pin bowling alley and other facilities.
